    Christmas: Amazingly Good Eggnog

    Source of Recipe

    Submitted by: NATALIESMOM

    Recipe Introduction

    " It's taken me several years to perfect this recipe. Now everyone asks, 'When are you making the eggnog?!!' This uses cooked eggs for safety, and you can use more or less rum to taste. It's a bit of work to make, but well worth it. You'll never buy store-bought eggnog again! Enjoy

    List of Ingredients

    4 cups milk
    5 whole cloves
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    12 egg yolks
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    2 1/2 cups light rum
    4 cups light cream
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    Recipe

    1 Combine milk, cloves, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and cinnamon in a saucepan, and heat over lowest setting for 5 minutes. Slowly bring milk mixture to a boil.
    2 In a large bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar. Whisk together until fluffy. Whisk hot milk mixture slowly into the eggs. Pour mixture into saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until thick. Do not allow mixture to boil. Strain to remove cloves, and let cool for about an hour.
    3 Stir in rum, cream, 2 teaspoon vanilla, and nutmeg. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
